PERSPECTIVE

Take a look at the scores of international headlines that have greeted the appointment of Ismail Sabri.

Corruption and greed by the old men who seized power in the 70s and granted the licences to destroy to their business cronies, the Sibu logging family mafias.

Political aspirants are only great if they are united and despite a false marriage of Perikatan Nasional, they knew how to present a united front when necessary.

Ismail Sabri will almost certainly consolidate his party’s position, tighten its grip on all the levers of power.

Past days have seen blatant horse-trading as PN MPs has continued to side-line any attempts to run the country in the middle of the worst moment of the pandemic.

Malaysia can take a bold step by giving the opportunity to a suitable and capable individual from any race to become prime minister.

Time for a national reset.

Proof of Muhyiddin's frustration and dissatisfaction of having to resign under such a humiliating situation can be found in his national address.

Even in the full exposure of hypocrisy and lies, Muhyiddin now stands up and claim he had always ‘stuck by his principles and refused to deal with kleptocrats’!

Of late, the police appear to be stepping up their crackdown on citizens who have criticised or insulted politicians.

Malaysia critically needs action and consistent, decisive, credible leadership to handle the present peak of the pandemic.

If the MB had exercised more self-discipline during lockdown, and behaved with civility at other times, the rakyat would not react to his aggression and arrogance.

Could IGP tell us if stern action was taken against corrupt politicians, members of the police cartel and civil servants?

With the country getting worse every single day, the King cannot disregard the latest facts that the premier is no longer legitimate.

It would be insane to abandon our democracy and entrust the future of our nation to an authoritarian, unelected council led by Mahathir.
